April 20, 2016: Earlier this week, in partnership with Share the Road Cycling Coalition, we wrote the Honourable Glen Murray, Minister of Environment & Climate Change and the Honourable Steven Del Duca, Minister of Transportation to recommend that the provincial cap and trade program be leveraged to ensure that $50 million per year for the next 4 years be used to fund cycling infrastructure in urban areas across Ontario.
